GRAMMAR [grammar] description of the structure of a language, consisting of the sounds (see phonology); the meaningful combinations of these sounds into words or parts of words, called morphemes; and the arrangement of the morphemes into phrases and sentences, called syntax.
School grammars for the speakers of a standard language (e.g., English grammars for English-speaking students) are not descriptive but prescriptive, that is, they are rule books of what is considered correct.
In traditional grammar, parts of speech are defined semantically, i.e., a noun is a person, place, or thing; but in linguistic morphology, parts of speech are defined according to their syntactic function: The difference between nouns and verbs is that they cannot appear in the same environment in a sentence.

 Articles - Independent school (UK)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
A public school (in the independent sense) usually teaches children from the ages of 11 (for girls) or 13 (for boys) to 18, and was traditionally a single-sex boarding school, although many now accept day pupils and are coeducational.
Some schools (often called "grammar schools") were sponsored by towns or villages or by guilds; others by cathedrals for their choir.
University College School, founded in 1830 as part of University College London, was unique in that it neither took boarders nor gave religious education; indeed, by not limiting its intake to a specific religious denomination, it gained the claim of being the first truly "public" school, open to all.

Another sign that soccer had its detractors in the School came in the form of a senior debate in November 1905, where the motion was The supremacy of Association Football over Rugby.
The School’s adoption of William Ermysted’s coat of arms in 1907 was clearly a gesture in this direction, as was the switch back to ‘Rugby’ football.
The School’s position on the rugby map was acknowledged in 1912 by the Yorkshire RFU sending a strong ‘Yorkshire Wanderers’ XV team to play at ‘Sandylands’.

Yorkshire is well-served by the independent school sector and indeed is home to several famous ones, including Ampleforth College near York and Ashville College in Harrogate.
However, despite the names, very few state schools in the region are still selective, although grammar schools do survive in the North Yorkshire towns of Ripon and Skipton.
Generally, the Leeds and Bradford local education authorities under-perform the national average in terms of both GCSE and A-level grades, while North Yorkshire schools are generally above average.
